MARWIN Sounding System MW32

Overview

Vaisala MARWIN Sounding System MW32 provides an atmospheric profile of wind, pressure, temperature, and humidity from the surface up to the altitudes used in the ballistic weather computation.

The data can be used as input into numerical weather models to provide updated observations for more precise predictions. The atmospheric profile is useful in fire weather, aviation, CBRN, and naval applications.

The MW32 system consists of a receiver, processor, and antennas to track the radiosonde attached to a free-flying balloon. The integrated display and keyboard unit supports menu-driven operation. Side panel connectors enable rack mount installation. The display unit and connector panel have been designed using MIL-STD-1472F as a guideline. The system can be operated, assembled, and disassembled wearing gloves or arctic mittens.

The MW32 system is designed from conception for demanding uses in harsh environments and rough transportation. A special feature is the unit’s conductive cooling.

MW32 complies with MIL-STD-810G for vibration, functional shock and transit drop, low and high temperature, temperature shock, sand and dust, wind-driven rain, humidity, salt fog, and altitude.
